Julie was in San Francisco for a weekend celebrating her bridesmaid Maggie's bridal shower. While there, she decided to check out what San Francisco had to offer on Bumble. Lo and behold, she swiped right on Brad and there was a match! They talked for a few weeks, and Brad tried to get away, but a few months later Julie reached back out to see how his summer was going. They got to talking, and then to talking more, and then to talking even more! After many late night lengthy conversations, Brad booked not one but TWO flights to Boston (while very much celebrating his groomsman Nick's bachelor party), so that they could finally meet in person. That weekend, they had their first real date, and decided to make things official with their favorite combination of oysters and rosé. Over the course of the following 9 months they traveled extensively to see each other, took their first vacation to Maui together, met each other's families, and fell in love. Julie moved out to San Francisco in June of 2018, and since then they have grown to love each other more, ultimately leading to Brad's proposal on Christmas Eve 2018 in the company of Julie's family in Boston. They love arguing about who is the funny one, enjoying the outdoors, hitting golf balls, traveling, cooking together, and of course Georgia Football (Go Dawgs!). Brad has done an exceptional job of turning Julie into a UGA fan, and Julie has tried to convince Brad that the Patriots are in fact the best team in football. He indulges her Yankee's fandom, and she doesn't mind when he sends her for massages on her birthday so that he can watch golf! Now they are celebrating in the excitement of their upcoming wedding and can't wait to share the day with all of their families and closest friends! See you in September!
